Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objective: The aim of this trial is to evaluate whether people with a problematic alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorder Test score ≥ 8), who enroll in alcohol therapy delivered via video conference to a greater extent initiate as well as comply with treatment and reduce their alcohol intake compared to people allocated to standard alcohol treatment.
Design: Randomized controlled trial
Participants: 375 Danish citizens above 18 years with a problematic alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorder Test (AUDIT) score \>8).
Intervention: Participants are randomized to one of two groups:
1. Conversational therapy via video conference where participants are contacted by an alcohol therapist for the purpose of initiating a course of treatment where participants are not required to show up at a clinic.
2. Treatment as usual where participants receive contact information on their local alcohol treatment facility for the purpose of contacting the facility to initiate a face-to-face course of treatment at the clinic.
The allocation of participants to the intervention will be 1:1 to the intervention and the control group.
Methods: Data will be collected by questionnaire at baseline, 3 months and 12 months post randomization. Analyses will be intention to treat. Subgroup analysis will be conducted in relation to personal and demographic characteristics.
Process evaluation will be performed using a combination of questionnaires and qualitative interviews with participants, therapists and management at the clinics.
